They said the wanton, carefree use of hydrocarbons would boil the world like an egg, and they called it: climate change - the 6th extinction. In the end, though, it doesn't matter: the Earth overcomes. You see, it was never about the weather, but what stops happening because of the weather, like crops and civilisations. Then they said a shifting climate wouldn't have much of an effect: one, or two degrees... maybe. That the oceanic thermals would be fine. Probably. But they always say that.

They said the wanton, carefree use of hydrocarbons would boil the world like an egg, and they called it: climate change - the 6th extinction. In the end, though, it doesn't matter: the Earth overcomes. You see, it was never about the weather, but what stops happening because of the weather, like crops and civilisations. Then they said a shifting climate wouldn't have much of an effect: one, or two degrees... maybe. That the oceanic thermals would be fine. Probably. But they always say that. Jack is a British soldier fighting in the last oil war. Areena, a climatologist with access to a decades-old Dim Beacon predicting a rapid climate event. She only realises how high the stakes really are as tanks grind into Parliament Square. Joshua works in closed-loop biome research and mixes with all the right people - as if it were being orchestrated. They call him Saviour, but he's not so sure. At least he has Art, a friend from Eden. Guy can smell the opportunities bubbling up out of a crumbling system. Mù looks on as Sergei acts. Roman gets pulled in and Dean still thinks nothing can surprise him. While Alice is content to watch, and wait.

Mark grew up in a large family which conversely meant playing alone, constrained only by a boundless imagination. At sixteen, realising that he was unlikely to become an actual space hero, Mark joined the Army. After a career bookended by Sandhurst and War College - gaining a Masters in Defence and Strategic Studies along the way - Mark left the military after 25 years, having reached the dizzying heights of the sixth floor of the Ministry of Defence, where he worked as a staff officer, preparing papers for senior officers and wishing he was anywhere else in the universe. Mark now lives in the West Country where he is endlessly fascinated by technological advances, philosophical questions, geopolitics, the universe, and wondering what it would be like, if...
